As someone who loves to read one of the things I enjoy most is reading books that form part of a series. It doesn't matter whether its a trilogy or a series spanning a dozen books or more, there's just something really warm and inviting at being able to settle down with a new book and being...

Thanks Bella. I think I will take a chance on Divergent after all, although when that will actually be remains to be seen as I have quite a few others to read first.

Well, Wilbur is my absolute favorite but I have to admit to having a bit of a soft spot for Templeton the Rat.

That's the problem though - why do you think I've kept hold of them for so long?! In all seriousness though there are a few that I know I will never read again as I never enjoyed them first time around and have no intention of ever reading them again. Plus getting rid of books means it makes...

I adore Charlotte's Web, it's one of my absolute favorites. Charlotte is the ONLY spider I have ever liked! I was gutted when I realized I'd misplaced my childhood copy and finally got around to buying a new one a couple of years ago. Definitely time for a reread I think!

Ooh, what did you think about this series? I nearly picked up a copy of this today but wasn't entirely sure it was my kind of thing. Although saying that I said the same thing about The Hunger Games and dilly-dallied over reading that for months and then when I finally did read it, I really...

Yay! Well done pontabla. Maybe I should start an Amazon wish list too. I'm in the process of doing a few home improvements to the house at the moment, decorating, new carpets etc. and have just boxed up a lot of my books while the work is going on and OMG!!! I knew I had a lot of books, but...

My original paperback copy of the first Harry Potter book started to come away at the spine after I'd read it so many times so I actually bought a second complete set. The original set is the one I read whenever it takes my fancy, while the newer versions sole purpose in life is to sit on the...

I loved The Husband's Secret when I read it a few weeks ago. Even though the 'secret' isn't a secret to the reader it's certainly interesting to see how the various other characters deal with the repercussions of the revelation. I have one of Liane Moriaty's other books in the my TBR pile too...

Excellent! Thank you Emily!

I struggled to get through The Hobbit in my 20's when I read it and I don't think I would have enjoyed it any more if I'd read it as a child. I loved Roald Dahl when I was a kid and would love to re-read his books now that I'm an adult. My favorites were The BFG and Matilda, both excellent books!

Personally I think the sub-forum would be better suited under the General Book Discussion section, but to be honest I don't mind as long as it goes somewhere.

Hello and welcome to Book & Reader Forest Girl. I love your intro by the way, one of the best I've read and much, much more interesting than mine!

I don't think I've ever seen an in-house blog feature on a forum before so I'm not entirely sure how that worked previously but I was thinking along the same lines as to what's just recently been initiated on the Crime Fiction & Thriller board, but more generalized rather than genre specific...

I love books from a series and am always looking out for new authors so I've taken a note of these and will definitely check them out.

I have the exact same problem. I really need to slap a big No-Book-Buying Ban on myself until I get through some of the books on my TBR pile... a fair few of which I've had for years!

I haven't really heard all that much about The Cuckoo's Calling as a lot of people I know have put off reading it because of their feelings about The Casual Vacancy so thanks for the feedback pontalba. I might see if I can get it from my local library, then if I can't get into it or don't enjoy...

Thanks. Yeah, I tend to do that too although in my case it's not always necessarily books from a series, sometimes it's just books by the same author which can then sometimes begin to feel a bit like they're all the same. With that in mind I think I might alternate them with something...

I was debating about whether to watch the series whilst reading the books but have decided to read the books first - or certainly the first few anyway. I always try and read a book before seeing any kind of movie adaptation so figured I should stick to my rule with television spin-offs too. I...

I hope this is the correct place to post this. I love what's been done to the Crime Fiction & Thrillers board and was just wondering if that is something that is going to filter out to the other sections too, or whether it's purely for that genre. I understand that the changes have been made...
